Join us at Bulli Beach Cafe and write letters for Amnesty International’s Write for Rights Campaign. Just bring yourself, a pen, and a passion for human rights!
Write for Rights is Amnesty International’s annual global letter writing event. At the heart of Amnesty International is this idea: that we are at our most powerful when we stand together for human rights.
